I am thankful for all my wonderful blessings... for my husband and family, my home, my health, my animals, and most of all, for God's mercy and love. I'm also thankful for you, my wonderful blog friends, who have made me laugh, made me cry, and brightened up many days for me by your sweet comments. I hope all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

It has some wonderful recipes in it, including some I've never seen on her blog, and of course lots and lots of her beautiful photographs. I even caught hubby looking through it the other night... the pictures of their ranch and all the gorgeous horses just amazed him. So I guess it's a good book for girls or guys!

My other purchase was something I have wanted for a LONG time-

a food dehydrator!

We went to the Bass Pro Shop in Sevierville, TN and found this one- I paid a little more for it than I had planned on, but hopefully this one will last me a long time. By the way, have you ever been inside one of those places? I know I'm a country bumpkin, but I'm in awe of that place every time we go. You can easily spot me in there- …

I live on a tiny farm in East Tennessee with my husband. When I'm not tending sheep or chasing chickens out of my flower beds, I love to spin, weave, and sew. I'm also "mom" to two English bulldogs~ a baby boy named Tug, born 9/11/18, and to Lily, who passed away 11/21/18 but will live in my heart forever.
